Going through some Angular development, I've found a few packages that have made coding easier for Angular v2+ projects. We'll go over them here. There's an easy way to get many of these packages using an extension pack: Angular Essentials Extension Pack by John Papa.

The extension pack has many of these, but I'd like to go into a little more detail for some of the packages and also introduce some packages that aren't necessarily Angular specific, although they do help with JS development.

This is also a simple package that not everyone will find useful. When coding, I do my best to keep my hands on the keyboard. It saves time to stay away from the mouse. This is why I invest time into learning the VS Code keyboard shortcuts and Vim.

This package allows you to quickly switch to a component's matching .css|.html|.ts files.
